“Killens BBQ in Woodlands and Shenandoah“

“The best chicken salad ever and the grape salad is to die for. Very very good.“

“My first visit to Craft Grill impressed me! My daughter had recommended it so I took her there for an early dinner. Because the weather was good, we dined outside. I tried the shrimp and grits to compare it to what I make myself at home. It was an interesting change using gouda instead of cheddar which gives it a very different flavor that I found good. Their appetizer, a mixed sampler, was also quite good.
Overall, I was quite impressed and look forward to trying something else the next time I go there. BTW, the wait staff was also very helpful even considering he had had to deal with a food allergy reaction at another table he was serving.“

“Best location and greatest staff! I had a huge event recently that required pickup before opening hours. They were accommadating and helped load the car. The chicken salad was a huge hit for the event. It was refreshing and delicious! Love going in here. They make me feel like they know me personally.“

“Dined today and the food was amazing! The pork sandwich was spot on!! And the crawfish…..omg! They were Devine! We stopped only to say hello to Mr Larry and pick up a few bottles of his spices. But the smell got us! We had to order and it was even better than expected. Staff was amazing and the overall experience was great! Thanks Mr Larry for an amazing restaurant and for keeping the “real” cooking of crawfish ALIVE.“

“We just moved to the area from St Louis and a neighbor recommended Mel's. This was our first restaurant out as new Texans and was not disappointed! We've been several times, each time trying something new. Haven't been disappointed yet! So happy to have a restaurant we can become regulars at that is family owned. Our boys' faces light up when we say we're having Mel's for dinner!!“

“We had Uncle Bob’s Barbecue cater our daughter’s wedding at The Weinberg in Bryan Texas and the food and service was amazing! Uncle Bob’s barbecue offers different types of food for weddings but we chose the brisket, chicken, sausage with the mashed potatoes , green beans and macaroni for the kids. Everyone called it fancy barbecue for a wedding. People are still talking about how great the food was. My daughter and son-law didn’t get a chance to eat and they packed them food to go. My daughter said the food was still good even after reheating it. And she’s not one to eat leftovers.
Before I found out about Uncle Bob’s, one month before the wedding, I received 4 quotes and every quote had hidden fees and ridiculous charges. When I received the quote from Uncle Bob’s it was a relief to see a quote that explained every charge in detail. Terri was always available to answer all our questions in a timely manner. And the team was outstanding at the wedding! I wish I would have known about Uncle Bob’s from the beginning because it would have saved me a lot of stress. Thank you for making our night special!“

“This was my first time ordering and I don't regret it! I ordered Thursday's special which was meatloaf served with rice and gravy, my sides were black eye peas and green beans. Everything was so delicious. I appreciated the extra container of gravy that I used on my meatloaf. The meatloaf was tender and nicely seasoned. My only complaint is that the cornbread was dry - tasted good but dry. That won't stop me from coming back. I wanna try the oxtails and Mac & cheese next!“

“Just moved to this area! Our first visit. Fresh and great food, delicious very clean lots of parking nice atmosphere! Gentleman very cordial! Thanks ?????

Parking: Very spacious.

Kid-friendliness: High chairs, tv sports, family atmosphere very clean!“

“Good buffet and the owner is great and the people that work there chicken has to much batter it's thick. Chicken tenders are small and color of the batter is not the same as the regular fried chicken its clumpy That's just me and my son some people like it. The one on 2920 is good for us thinner batter crust and the chicken tenders are just off the chain big and the batter is the same color as all the other chicken. Smooth crispy chicken!!!“

“Love this place! Been coming here since I was a kid. For some reason we haven't been coming here very often and I don't know why the prices are amazing the food is amazing the service is amazing everything is awesome the croissants are fantastic the wait is like 5 ish minutes but that's not a big deal. if you're there before lunch time ends and the wait extends over that they give you the prices anyways. super kind waitress, made the experience very chill. they have Shirley temples as well! <3 will definitely be coming back!“

“For me, eating out at a cafe or restaurant is a casual, social affair. Every time I have frequented them, I have been greeted with a nice, gentle ambiance with no loud or destructive TV, music, or unwanted political opinions. As I have no car and ride a bike, I appreciate neither chilly nor sweltering temperatures. Usually, there are couples having lunch, and children aren't boisterous or running around being annoying or destructive.“

“The food was awesome. I have not been to GC in years. It has been a very long time, and the food was on point. Place is big and clean. I was very impressed how this GC was. Keep it up 👍“
